Download or read book Analysis of Intel IA 64 Processor Support for Secure Systems written by Bugra Unalmis and published by . This book was released on 2001-03-01 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current architectures typically focus on the software-based protection mechanisms rather than hardware for providing protection. In fact, hardware security mechanisms can be critical for the construction of a secure system. If hardware security mechanisms are properly utilized in a system, security policy enforcement can be simplified. Systems could be constructed for which serious security threats would be eliminated. This thesis explores the Intel IA-64 processor's hardware support and its relationship to software for building a secure system. To analyze the support provided by the architecture, hardware protection mechanisms were examined. This analysis focused on the following mechanisms: privilege levels, access rights, region identifiers and protection key registers. Since protection checks are made through the translation lookaside buffer (TLB) during the virtual-to-physical translations, the TLB structure was an area of focus throughout the research for this thesis. Proper use of the TLB-based hardware protection features permits protection in the IA-64 architecture. It enables the processor hardware and the operating system to collaborate to enforce security policies efficiently.

Download or read book Secure Processors Part I written by Victor Costan and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manuscript is the first in a two part survey and analysis of the state of the art in secure processor systems, with a specific focus on remote software attestation and software isolation. This manuscript first examines the relevant concepts in computer architecture and cryptography, and then surveys attack vectors and existing processor systems claiming security for remote computation and/or software isolation. This work examines in detail the modern isolation container (enclave) primitive as a means to minimize trusted software given practical trusted hardware and reasonable performance overhead. Specifically, this work examines in detail the programming model and software design considerations of Intel's Software Guard Extensions (SGX), as it is an available and documented enclave-capable system. Part II of this work is a deep dive into the implementation and security evaluation of two modern enclave-capable secure processor systems: SGX and MIT's Sanctum. The complex but insufficient threat model employed by SGX motivates Sanctum, which achieves stronger security guarantees under software attacks with an equivalent programming model. This work advocates a principled, transparent, and well-scrutinized approach to secure system design, and argues that practical guarantees of privacy and integrity for remote computation are achievable at a reasonable design cost and performance overhead.
Download or read book Secure Processors Part II written by Victor Costan and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manuscript is the second in a two part survey and analysis of the state of the art in secure processor systems, with a specific focus on remote software attestation and software isolation. The first part established the taxonomy and prerequisite concepts relevant to an examination of the state of the art in trusted remote computation: attested software isolation containers (enclaves). This second part extends Part I's description of Intel's Software Guard Extensions (SGX), an available and documented enclave-capable system, with a rigorous security analysis of SGX as a system for trusted remote computation. This part documents the authors' concerns over the shortcomings of SGX as a secure system and introduces the MIT Sanctum processor developed by the authors: a system designed to offer stronger security guarantees, lend itself better to analysis and formal verification, and offer a more straightforward and complete threat model than the Intel system, all with an equivalent programming model. This two part work advocates a principled, transparent, and wellscrutinized approach to system design, and argues that practical guarantees of privacy and integrity for remote computation are achievable at a reasonable design cost and performance overhead.
